Lewis Carroll

"To me it seems that to give happiness is a far nobler goal that to attain it: and that what we exist for is much more a matter of relations to others than a matter of individual progress: much more a matter of helping others to heaven than of getting there ourselves."

Food for the Stomach

Stomach for the Food

Why does that body itch?
Despite why it's caused, 
does it not itch to be scratched?
Now then, can we say that Humanity is the body
and no matter the cause,
can we say that the itch be Humanity's Cry of pain and misery
while the scratch, Humanity's Salvation?
We surely can...
So then, where does that leave us?
Are you then Humanity's Cry?
or are you Humanity's Salvation?
Of course your career calls you one, 
but never forget that in smaller ways 
you've done both, Cry and Save.
Furthermore, why do we Cry for a Salvation?
Can't we solve our own?
This is why Humanity is so unhealthy.
It's pleasure in the Cry.
We need more for the Salvation...
We need the true Salvation...
We need the truth...

For the Sake of Humanity

We don't need the Cry...
But a problem will always exist as long as Humanity does.
The goal is to simply diminish.
Conflict will even exist in Rest.

Hi friend, nice blog post. Since you like my writings, I would suggest you read a poem I wrote entitled "Lovely Contradictions." Its on my blog, and it solves the problem of your "food for the stomach" dilemma.

Great post, I agree completely. That's a good idea to use in an argument "Are you the problem? or the solution?"

You’re words are simple, and yet they make so much sense. Beautiful illustration...nicely applied to every person alive. Makes you wonder; makes you think about your purpose in this world.

When one truly thinks about such a thing, eventually an answer is found…eventually.

Nice post!

And yes, you are right about how Jaerixon, you, and me have the same goals - it's nice to know that we're not alone, no? :)

And two miles is the minimum of your running? Wow, I have a long way to go . . .

this post is too true and makes me think. i cry and sometimes i savior my misery like we all do at times and yet i still seek salvation. i have caused pain and i have stopped it. humanity will always be full of problems and solutions and more problems and more solutions

Hey Benji, its been a while since we have casually conversed. For a while I lost my motivation, it was hard for me to think and focus. Finally, I think that time is over. Like you I have been talking to Mariposa , and I think it is time that we move in with the proposition and get her to join our movement. I'll see if I can get her AIM or something like that, and I think you should get one too. It would make communicating a lot easier.

Jaerixon said...

Alright that works, I will talk to Mariposa and get her to join, while you create the separate blog.

I think that what you say is true, yet it is also the influence of what you say. You say that we use the influence of cry and we enjoy the cry. Maybe some of us do not enjoy it. Maybe we do cry, but we do not want to. We would rather not scratch our itch, because if it is painful enough, then it causes enough for you not to scratch. But then again maybe the scratching is the solution. Maybe it is the only way to cure the itch. The question is, what will you do and how will you do it to influence the way you want to feel.

In response to your comment...

1)Yes, people become who they are based on their life's experiences. It is our own fault that we harbor and allow ignorance in our society, but I do not agree that this allows for them to be excluded from blame. I remember in elementary school I would do "questionable" things and then get in trouble, and I would say to my teacher, "I didn't know I was doing anything wrong" and she would reply, "Ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking it". This same principle applies to life. The majority of the population goes throughout life experiencing both sides of the spectrum, if they have any doubt about their choices, it is their responsibility to work to understand what is wrong and what is right and be ready to deal with the consequences of their choices. It is our job to educate them about what the consequences of their choices are.

2)Success in education provides for opportunity. Many do use this opportunity for mere pleasures of the flesh, but that does not mean it is the only thing it can be used for? What would a doctor be without an education? What any good would a politician be at running the country if he was not educated in the complex workings of government? Education is important, and being successful in school now reflects ones ability to be successful later in life.

3) This is true, but would it not be better to make the wise choice from the beginning as to prevent problems? Would a mother let her young child get burned so that he learned not to play with fire, or would she make clear to him from that start that fire is dangerous? Does the military put a man on the front lines with the intention that he will learn faster from "failure"? No. It is the same with life.


Lastly, I do apologize for not critiquing your work as much as I should. My girlfriend and I have been going through a rocky couple of weeks and we broke up 10 days before our one year anniversary last Thursday. This has made everything from my grades to my social life, much harder, and only when I'm in a certain mood do I feel like thinking. As much as I wish I was a god, I am still only human.I will make an effort from now on.

nice discussion

Jaerixon said...

1) Then how do we change anyone? I see what you are saying, people never change, I believe I've written on the subject in agreement. However, we can influence their actions. We can make a difference by changing the factors they consider when reasoning their decision. And do our actions not define who we are? So you could say that by influencing their actions, we are changing "who they are".

2)Yes sacrifices do need to be made. Our culture needs to be revised and reformed into something where people are held a bit more accountable for their actions and intelligence is revered more than exterior appearance. The question is though, how do we go about doing that?

3) We agree, no point in continuing debate.

I have dwelt on this subject for too long, and to explain it to you would take quite some time. I am recovering and once things are worked out, I will have more time to devote to our cause.

Thanks again
